Look up, what do you see?

When I was a kid I visited this tree in Heede, Germany, with my parents, and it is still there. Although a thousand years for a lindentree seems a little much.

Taken from Loch Lubnaig just before sunrise

Bare trees on a cold January morning backlit by the rising sun.

With this autumn tree and a few other creations my TheNewBlack series on NewElementary ends.

Check it out and stay turned for the last few creations!

A tree skeleton still reaches for the sky at Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes. It is lit by lights from cars leaving a nearby parking lot.

We are leaving tomorrow to travel down I-5 through Washington, Oregon and California, then west to Death Valley. We are hoping for a break in the rain storms while we travel. It will be exciting to be back in Death Valley again.

Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

... sunrise .... when walking the dog ....

This was a late evening shot when the sun was on the horizon so that it's rays were just catching the very tops of the trees making it look as if they were on fire. I shot some video to as it was quite windy and the trees were swaying mesmerisingly.

I'm kind of fascinated by these trees that can flourish on a small rock homestead like this. This is at Watson Lake in Prescott, Arizona. Watson Lake is one of my all-time favorite places I could spend hours exploring the rocks there. In the first comment, I posted a shot of the whole area I took back in 2011. I really want a do-over on some sunrise shots one day. I was just getting used to a new camera at the time and.. . lets just say I want a do-over. Only had my bird lens with me so no landscape shots from last weekend. Just a distance shot of this tree. (If you click into the shot below, you can see this tree the landscape. It's the right-most one on the little rock island)

The other evening we went for a short visit to Elk Island NP. It is too bad that night falls so early this time of year, because we lose light so fast. There is, simply, not enough time to capture the fall colors during a working week. By the time we get anywhere we have 30 min of light left. And, since foliage does not stay on the trees for too long around here we try to get out every chance we get. Here is a few shots of trees I took during that outing. It is so cool being surrounded by them during blue hour right now, because all that yellow just glows.

This one is from the Botanic Gardens light show last week. It was a projection of a face up on a large tree. The face was also moving - eyes and mouth opening and closing. It was a fantastic idea and really well done.

This is an image of a 800 year old Yellowwood tree located in Tsitsikamma Park at the Garden Route. How to take a picture of a tree surrounded by other trees in a forest? In my opinion the trunk and a much younger member of it's family are an interesting combination. For more information click www.tsitsikamma.info/news/the_big_tree_%E2%94%82tsitsikamma

Taken down at the first lake at the community garden today. It really is a lovely spot.

My favorite tree at Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge in the Bitterroot Valley, western Montana. On this morning, a hawk is perched in the tree scanning the fields for breakfast.

Dark skies at the old tree today. The rain stayed away during my visit, but I biked home through the rain a few hours later.

One thing i'll miss, once winter splits

is the bare and naked trees..

For spring has waited, patiently

to dress them up in leaves.

I love to see the shadow of

their trunks against a sunset sky...

(Naked trees are sexy things

but for what i don't know why...)

I love their branches laced in snow

up against a sky of blue...

I love them dressed up in ice

with a bright sun shining through..

Once their dressed, i must confess

they don't do a thing for me

though i do love the spring time buds

that change the scenery..

I love them best, when their dressed

In the beauty Autumn brings..

Still, Naked trees, are defiently

one one my favorite things...

I know that lots of you will say

"she's talking about a friggin tree.".

But do one thing,for me this spring

check out a naked pregant tree

Ah, Tree Swallow on a branch, got lucky!

Avalon has a lot of beautiful flowering trees of which this was one. I know nothing about tropical flowering trees and would really like to know the name of this one.

ETA: This in an Australian Silver-oak!

Trees will always leave me in awe, especially when they are big enough to feel like a home. This was such peaceful place and I could have been sitting there for ever watching all the animals living there.

Taken just as fall begins. The beautiful coloured leaves, falling away from the tree just screams Fall about to hit

Another foggy morning shot from Stanley Park. I'm so enchanted by this tree every single time I pass by it, and the dissipating fog with the morning sun finally breaking through really drew me in. What really caught my eye was the human element here (look hard, you'll find it) and it brought to mind a favourite fantasy fiction novel of mine which, if you haven't read, you should.
